HANGER FOR USE IN CONCRETE CONSTRUCTIOIT.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT R WRIGHT, of Rochester, in the county ofMonroe and State of New York, have invented a certain new and usefulHanger for Use in Concrete Construction, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention has for its object the production of a hanger for use inconcrete construction, which is particularly simple in construction andcapable of more or less adjustment.

In describing this invention, reference is had to the accompanyingdrawing in which like characters designate corresponding parts in allthe views. a

Figure 1 is a sectional view of my hanger showing the same embedded inthe concrete. Fig. 2 is a 'plan view of the hanger, a part beingremoved. Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view of the body of my hanger.

This hanger comprises a body l'designed to be embedded in the concrete,and an engaging member or hanger-proper 2, suspended from the body. Thebody is preferably elongated and formed with outwardly inclined orflared sides and ends 3 and 4, extending above the part of the bodydirectly supporting the engaging member 2, for facilitating thesecurement of the body in the concrete, said body being open at its topfor permitting the concrete to engage innerand outer sides thereof. Asshown, the ends 4 are of greater height than the central portions of thesides 3, and, together with the end portions 5 of the sides, form wingshaving channels in which the concrete runs when poured. The body is alsoformed with an elongated chamber 6 in its lower portion, the chamberhaving an open top and a slot 7 in its bottom midway between the sidesof said chamber. A supporting member, here shown as a non-circular heador nut 8, is located in said chamber, the sides of the nut engaging thesides of the chamber, and the threaded opening 9 thereof, being alinedwith the slot. The chamber is covered by a plate 10 which rests on aledge 11 surrounding the top of the chamber, and prevents the concretefrom entering the chamber.

12 is a connecting element projecting through the slot 7 and-preferablydetachably connected to both members 2 and 8. As here shown, theengaging member 2 is formed with an eye 13 for receiving a'pipeSpecification of Letters Patent.

or other part to be supported by the hanger, and with a threaded passage14 for receivinglthe outer threaded end of the connecting element, saidengaging member being adjust able lengthwise of the connecting element,toward and from the, body, and adjustable laterally relatively to thebody, by reason of the ability of the nut to be moved in the chamber 6along the slot 7.

The upper end of the connecting member is threaded and enters thethreaded opening of the nut and the end face thereof engages the late 10and acts as a set screw for holding the member 12 in its adjustedposition relatively to the slot 7. It is obvious, however, that a boltmay be substituted for the nut and connecting element.

In placing the hanger in position, it is secured to the wood false workbefore the pouring of the concrete, by a bolt passing through the woodfalse work and into the nut 8, and when the wood false work is removed,the engaging member and connecting member are substituted for the bolt.

What I claim is:-

1. A hanger for use in concrete construction comprising a body designedto be embedded in the concrete, the body being formed with an elongatedchamber opening through the top of the body and having side walls, thebody being also formed with a slot opening through the bottom of thechamber into the same and with a ledge around the upperside of thechamber and walls rising from the ledge, a cover plate for the top ofthe chamber, the cover plate resting on the ledge and engaging at itsedges the last-mentioned walls, a supporting member located in thechamber and adjustable along the slot and engaging the side walis of thechamber, and an engaging member suspended from the supporting member anddetachably connected through the slot thereto, substantially as and forthe purpose described.

2. A hanger for use in concrete construction comprising a body designedto be em bedded in the concrete, the body being -formed with a chamberhaving a slot in its bottom and a cover for the chamber, the cover beinembedded in the concrete, a. nut in the chamher having its threadedopening ailind with the slot, a supporti member extending through theslot and" into the nut ahd turning into engagement with the coverimmovable when the hanger is threaded opening alined with the slot, anda supporting member extending through the slot and threading into thenut and into engagement with said cover to hold said member in itsadjusted position relatively to the slot, substantially as and for thepurpose specified.

4. A hanger for use in concrete construction co-n'iprising a bodydesigned to be-em-' bedded in the concrete, the body being formed withside walls, an elongated chamber having an elongated slot in its bottomand an openupper side, a nut in the chain ber engaging the side wallsthereofand having its threaded opening'alined with the slot, a platearranged to cover the open upper side, said plate being designed to have1 the concrete in which the body is embedded contact therewith forpreventing the dislodgement'of the same and resting on sur faces onopposite sides of the upper edges of its side walls, and a supportingmember extending through and adjustable lengthwise of the slot andthreading into the nut and movable into engagement with the plateandhence holding the nut and supporting member in its adjusted posit-ionrelatively to the slot and chamber, substantially as and for the purposeset forth.

5. A hanger for use in concrete construction comprising an elongatedbody designed to be embedded in the concrete, said body being formedwith outwardly inclined sides and ends, the ends being of greater heightthan the centralv portions of the sides and together with the endportions of the sides forming wings having channels, an engaging memberand means associated with the body for supporting the engaging member,substantially as and for the purpose described. v

6. A hanger for use in concrete construction, comprising a body designedto be embedded in the concrete, said body being formed with outwardlyflared sides and ends and with a chamber near itsbottom, the chamberbeing open at its top and having a slot in its bottom, a plate coveringthe top of the chamber and located near the bases of the sides and ends,a supporting member located in the chamber and adjustable along theslot, and an engaging member suspended from the supporting member andconnected through the slot thereto, substantially as and for the purposedescribed.

7. A hanger for use in concrete construction, comprising a body designedto be embedded in the concrete, said body being formed with outwardlyflared sides and ends and with a chamber near its bottom, the chamberbeing open at its top and having a slot in its bottom, the body beingformed interiorl'y with a ledge or supporting means for a cover platenear the open top 'of the chamber, a plate covering the top of thechamber and resting on the ledge, a supporting-member located in thechamber and adjustable along the slot, and an engaging member suspendedfrom thesupporting member and connected through the slot thereto,substantially'as and for the purpose set forth.

8. A hanger for use in concrete construction comprising an elongatedbody designed to be embedded in the concrete, the body being formed withoutwardly and upwardly inclined sides and ends, the ends being ofgreater heightithan the central portions of the sides, and togetherwith'the end portions of the sides forming wings having channels, thebody being also formed With a chamber in its lower portion the chamberhaving an open top and a slot in its bottom, and the body also having aledge surrounding the open top of the chamber, the ledge bemg locatedbelow the upper edges of the sides of the body, a plate covering the topof the chamber and resting on said ledge, a supporting member located inthe chamber and adjustable along the slot, and an engaging memberconnected to the supporting member through the slot, substantially asand for the purpose set forth. In testimony whereof, I have hereuntosigned my name in the presence of two a.ttesting witnesses, atRochester, in the county of Monroe, in the State of New York, this 21stday of October, 1907.
